There are different sides of each person’s personality; individual emotions we show to our acquaintances, close friends, family and ourselves. When we are alone, we know how we truly feel, but cannot express to people because we are scared to be judged, not taken seriously, trusted or laughed at. It exists in everyone and some may choose to hide it and others may express it the way they please, regardless of being judged. There are occasions where if we hide emotions for too long and avoid it, it may start to build up inside. Once it starts to burst out, we will not have the capacity to control it.

He was subtle about the emotions he was feeling at first but then he becomes so desperate for the truth and gets caught up in his imagination that he tries to force answers out of others such as Emilia and Desdemona herself. He ends up with no additional proof than the ones he has gotten from Iago. The reason Othello continues to believe Iago, the man who has been making all these false accusations, is because Othello was an insecure man and after Iago pointed out the imperfections of their marriage and of Othello’s age and looks, he was easily influenced. It is simple for a man to believe in the bad than the good. Sometimes even though a person does well all their life, the one negative mark is the one they always remember. At the end, it gets to a final point where Othello murders Desdemona as an honour killing but after being told the truth by Emilia and Iago, Othello is distraught. After her death, his emotions of jealousy and anger towards her disappeared and transform into feelings of guilt and remorse. Then he faces the reality of the situation and what he has done. All the problems that felt unsolvable were solved for him after her death. Othello was carried about with Iago’s lies and did not take into considerations
